Article headline	Title when the item is a published article, blank on ordinary feed posts
Likes	15,405
Comment count	479
Reaction types	LIKE, PRAISE, EMPATHY

Post URL	Direct link to the post or article

Image	Image URL when the post has one
Hashtags	Every hashtag in the post, as a list
Profile, Profile URL	Which profile the post came from, on every row, so multi-profile runs stay sortable

Pricing

$1.35 per 1,000 posts ($0.00135 per post), plus a small Apify compute fee. Comments cost nothing extra. Inaccessible profiles are never charged.

Run	Actor cost
100 profiles x 10 posts	$1.35
1,000 profiles x 10 posts	$13.50

How it works

1. Paste profile URLs or usernames, one per line. Both https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella and satyanadella work.
2. Set Max posts per profile. Include comments re-checks each post's comment count on the post's own page, so it is slower. It returns counts only, never comment text.
3. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Schedule it weekly to monitor prospects, executives, or creators, and webhook new posts anywhere.

FAQ

Which fields can come back empty? headline is filled only when the item is a published article, so ordinary feed posts leave it blank. authorName is often blank on a person's own feed, where the author is the profile you searched, and that profile is on every row as profile and profileUrl. LinkedIn does not publish a share or repost count, so there is no shares field.

Is this legal? The actor only reads publicly visible posts, the same pages you can open in a logged-out browser. No login, no private data.

Do I need a LinkedIn account? No. Nothing runs through an account, so there is nothing to restrict.

Can I use the API? Yes, runs and results are fully accessible through the Apify API and all Apify integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks).
